Just a PP update , the suspension and all the rest is still working very well.
Comparable to the Peugeot 208 performances with very good Front Grip
This car has the same pace as the Peugeot 208, with excellent front grip and a steady driving line. I prefer using the rear diffuser and avoid racing brakes and pads—the original brakes are already very good and performant. I also use a Fully Custom Manual gearbox to free up some additional power while keeping it at 500P.
Enjoy your drive. ><(((((((°>°°°°°°

Yes. I'm using medium tires, full power, no weight reduction, and a new gearbox. It only needs a stiffer suspension setup, the balance is fine. It's one of the rare FF cars that doesn't suffer from wheelspin under hard acceleration at this level. I'll work on a proper tune for it.

2025-07-29 23:35:12 +0000 UTCUsing the suspension settings for 620PP Deep Forrest Mission Challenge. After 18 laps I pitted for tires was 12 seconds behind leader sitting in 3rd place. Hopefully the cpu will have to pit on last lap 🤪

2025-04-27 22:14:00 +0000 UTCI don’t think this car needs a new setup—suspension and 0 ballast are still working great. The only adjustment worth making is setting the ECU to 95 and the restrictor to 91 to max out the 500PP limit.

2025-04-13 19:27:03 +0000 UTCThe "Rear A" part, which is the diffuser, adds a fixed amount of downforce to both the front and rear—regardless of whether a wing is installed or not.

2024-12-14 11:32:53 +0000 UTCPrainano, I just renewed my account. I was totally lost without your setups. You said in your write up to use the standard wing but in your setup you show the front set at 200 and thr rear at 50. So which one is the correct setting 🤔

2024-12-14 05:39:31 +0000 UTCThe manual don't increase so much PP and you can add some more power on the car . In this range and in this case the overall performance is better.

2024-10-25 20:17:42 +0000 UTCNo sorry. With the extra power the wheel spin turn the car horrible to drive , no line , this is the limit in my opinion. I really don't like powerfull FF cars because of this.
